How would you rate your memory?

Wow thats impressive!

I can remember when I was a baby, a toddler, the horrible teenage years, and mostly everything else. I wish I didn't have a good memory sometimes. 😒

probably an 8. my hubby is like a 3. sometimes i think he is on the spectrum too as he can remember the chemical make up of the thin atmosphere on mars or anything about space. But he lacks in functional memory of conversations, people he’s met, places we have been. It’s perplexing.

Pretty cool, isn't it?

I don't believe in limiting a child or our expectations of what can be learned.. they will surprise us most times. lol
Science, quotes from games, math... I am surprised at how much one child with some autistic signs can do so much memorizing!

Your brother has more surprises in store for you I'm sure! :)

I can relate to thst I can remember stuff as far back as 3 yrs old

I worked in a school once and there was a boy with autism we were chatting with. We were talking about something we learned in class on a certain day several years back and he told us he didn’t remember because he was off that day. When we checked attendance records, he truly wasn’t there that day.

The bizarre part, and this is not to take away from your brother, is that anyone with a healthy brain can actually do the same thing, you just have to learn how.

My short term memory is awful my long term memory is much better ..

Kids on the spectrum are quite amazing

Depends, I couldn't tell you I just know where I put my focus tends to stick with me forever.

like childhood phone number? 503 648 9461.

Still remember that. That was almost 30 years ago.

I have a fairly good long term memory but half the time I don’t remember what I did over the weekend.

I think your brother is brilliant

Yes, I have a photographic memory as well. 😊

Wow. I would totally use him for various recall info.
So cool. Take care of him

Like a goldfish

The character in Rain Man was an autistic savant.

Certain things stick in my mind, but others things slide off into the abyss.

Dates stay in my mind for some reason.
